Our Story

A vision born of devotion, built for generations.

Sri L. Manae Hanumantha Rao — Founder & Visionary
Sri L. Manae Hanumantha Rao(1883 — 1967) · Founder & Visionary

The story of Sri Bhavani Kalyana Mandira Trust begins with the vision of our founder, Late Sri L. Manae Hanumantha Rao and his three sons — H. Narasinga Rao Manae, H. Rama Rao Manae and H. Lakshman Rao Manae — and further continued by the Manae family to serve the underprivileged community & environment for better living through Sri Bhavani Kalyana Mandira Charitable Trust.

Established his business firms in 1908 Sri Bhavani Saw Mills and Manae Hanumantha Rao and Sons — both firms ran thriving timber & furniture manufacturing businesses serving our Military Engineering Service (MES) & Public Works Department (PWD) contractors, through sheer determination and an unyielding commitment to quality by Manae Hanumantha Rao & his three sons.

Chapter Two

The Birth of Sri Bhavani Kalyana Mandira

Over the next two years, the structure was meticulously built, driven by deep spirituality and devotion to Goddess Sri Amba Bhavani.

On February 2, 1960, Sri Bhavani Kalyana Mandira Trust officially opened its doors to the public. Most of the family members' weddings were also performed here under the blessings of Goddess Sri Amba Bhavani.

Chapter Three
